I can understand why you perpetuate the myth as Brexit has not brought the desired benefits to fishing and small exporters are floundering in red tape.

You say it because you have never grasped how the EU functions. Consensus is everything, and vetoes and opt-outs are always controversial. The UK would not have been treaty-bound to participate in the EU scheme had we remained, however to suggest that we would not have participated is simply not credible.
